We apply life cycle assessment concepts, appropriate sustainability criteria, and benchmarking to current questions surrounding our global food system, and incorporate observations from the developed and developing world.
Such measures will be of interest to healthcare organizations to allow them to benchmark current practices, assist providers in meeting standards of care, and determine the most rational ways to organize the primary-specialty care interface.
Over the period January to March 2012, a sub-set of six companies operating in the New Zealand planted forest industry was surveyed to benchmark current pre- and post-plant vegetation control practices.
In an attempt to benchmark current capabilities, it was also examined how much of the benefit of using patent-derived information can be retained when a bioannotated version of SureChEMBL is used as secondary source for the patent literature.
In an attempt to benchmark current capabilities, this study examined how much of the benefit described above can be retained when the bioannotated version of SureChEMBL (that is accessible through the Open PHACTS API) is used as a secondary source for the patent literature.
The overall goal of this monograph is to benchmark current thinking and enhance progress toward identifying and understanding the mechanisms by which nonrespiratory health effects occur and, by extension, to facilitate the appropriate management of relationships between air quality and health.
This is hardly surprising, in that the absence of a clear statement of role responsibilities makes it impossible to benchmark how current performance relates to these, and thus makes any assessment of skill deficit and training needs difficult to identify.
The system studies presented in this paper provide insight to current technology 'benchmarks' versus expected benefits from hybrid applications.
EBD is a process for creating or improving healthcare buildings by using rigorous evidence to create benchmarks of current practices, achieve specific goals, and then monitor the success of the design to inform future decision making.
Current approaches and a set of benchmarks used to evaluate current solutions are presented and new research questions in developing real-time Java systems using a scoped memory model are proposed.
